Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bleach smell in your nose . Well the strange smell in nose is also known as 'Phantosmia' . There can be many cause which can be responsible for strange smell like sinusitis , nasal polyp , dental infection , smoking and exposure to any chemical or radiation . Sometimes nerve dysfunction can also leads to strange smell in nose . I would suggest you to do warm saline rinses and gargles . Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order nasal endoscopy MRI and CT scan . Doctor may prescribe nasal spray like oxymetazoline along with Sedatives, antidepressants or anti-epileptic medicine .
Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
